I've been researching the issue I'm experiencing all over the place: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14572 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14122 http://lists.automattic.com/pipermail/wp-testers/2010-November/013718.html
The issue I'm experiencing is similar to the issue posted on the forums here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-does-not-appear-in-post_author_override-drop-down-list?replies=2#post-1996819 The only difference being: I initially registered my post_types the 3.0 way and was using the members plugin with the hack to use map_meta_cap as posted by Justin Tadlock. I since removed the map_meta_cap filter functions and removed the capabilities array from the registration leaving only what I believe is correct for 3.1 and forward. 'capability_type' => array( 'lesson', 'lessons' ), 'map_meta_cap' => true, I checked that all of the meta_caps are being properly mapped and they are: [capability_type] => lesson [map_meta_cap] => 1 [cap] => stdClass Object ( [edit_post] => edit_lesson [read_post] => read_lesson [delete_post] => delete_lesson [edit_posts] => edit_lessons [edit_others_posts] => edit_others_lessons [publish_posts] => publish_lessons [read_private_posts] => read_private_lessons [read] => read [delete_posts] => delete_lessons [delete_private_posts] => delete_private_lessons [delete_published_posts] => delete_published_lessons [delete_others_posts] => delete_others_lessons [edit_private_posts] => edit_private_lessons [edit_published_posts] => edit_published_lessons ) I then removed all of the previously created custom user roles and capabilities using functions ... remove_cap, add_cap, remove, add_role, remove_role and re-added them because I was noticing some funny business in how they were mapping after the change ... ie edit_lessons edit_lessons instead of edit_lessons 1. After removing and re-adding the custom roles and capabilities, everything looked as it should ... I believe: Role displayed in Admin as Site Program Director Database entry: site_program_director Capabilities assigned to the role of Site Program Director read 1 edit_lessons 1 edit_others_lessons 1 publish_lessons 1 read_private_lessons 1 delete_lessons 1 delete_private_lessons 1 delete_published_lessons 1 delete_others_lessons 1 edit_private_lessons 1 edit_published_lessons 1 delete_others_pages 1 delete_others_posts 1 delete_pages 1 delete_posts 1 delete_private_pages 1 delete_private_posts 1 delete_published_pages 1 delete_published_posts 1 edit_others_pages 1 edit_others_posts 1 edit_pages 1 edit_posts 1 edit_private_pages 1 edit_private_posts 1 edit_published_pages 1 edit_published_posts 1 export 1 import 1 list_users 1 manage_categories 1 manage_links 1 moderate_comments 1 publish_pages 1 publish_posts 1 read_private_pages 1 read_private_posts 1 restrict_content 1 upload_files 1 However, when logged in as admin, this user does not show up in the lessons dropdown author box. When logged in as Site Program Director, I have the ability to create lessons and they will save with Site Program Director as the author, but, no other users with this role will show up ( same as issue on forums linked to above ), only default wp roles will show. As well, if I log back in as admin and change the author of the lesson to admin, I cannot change it back to Site Program Director. Bottom line, it would appear that a custom user role simply will not show up in the dropdown author box, irregardless of assigned capability. Does anyone have any further insight into this? I'm running on the release version of 3.1 at the moment and don't want to update this particular site to a nightly unless I know this has been addressed already. As always, any input appreciated. _______________________________________________ wp-testers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers
